Q: Identify the false statement.
A: Cavitation can occur when water is flowing in a pipe and a valve is closed too quickly.
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: The MP204 device can protect the pump motor against all possible disturbances that may occur.
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: The only way to avoid sand from entering a pump is through effective filtering before the pump inlet.
Q: What causes cavitation?
A: Cavitation occurs when water changes its state from vapour to water at low pressure.
Q: What causes cavitation?
A: Cavitation occurs when water boils at 100°C and changes its state from water to vapour at normal atmospheric pressure.
Q: What causes cavitation?
A: Cavitation occurs when water flows through a pipe and a valve is closed quickly at a low atmospheric pressure
